Muscles Flashcards
Trapezius
Origin: Occiput/cervical spine/thoracic spine
Insertion: Clavicle/scapula/scapula
Innervation: XI cranial nerve, cervical nerves c3 and c4
Action: suspends the shoulder from the skull and the vertebral column.
Upper fibers elevate the scapula
Middle fibers pull the scapula medically
Lower fibers pull the medial border of the scapula downward.
Latissimus Dorsi
O:Spinous Processes of T6-L5/sacrum/iliac crest/lower 4 ribs
I: Intertubercular groove of humerus
A: Adducts/extends and rotates arm medially
Innervation: C6-C8 spinal nerves
Rhomboid Major
O:SP of T2-T5
I: medial border of the scapula
A: adducts scapula so the inferior angle of the scapula moves medially. Holds scapula to trunk
Innervation: dorsal scapular nerve (C-5)
Rhomboid Minor
O: SP C7 and T1
I: root of the spine of the scapula
A: adducts scapula
Innervation: dorsal scapula nerve (C5)
Levator scapulae
O: TVP of C1-C4
I: Medial border of the scapula
A: Bilateral = extend c spine. Unilateral = lateral flexion and rotation of neck, helps elevate scapula
Innervation: C3, C4 and dorsal scapular nerve C5
Serratus posterior superior
O: SP of C7 - T3
I: Upper border of ribs T2 - T5
A: AIDS in respiration by raising ribs
Innervation: Intercostal nerves T2-T5
Serratus Posterior Inferior
O:SP of T11 - L3
I: inferior border ribs T9-T12
A: depresses ribs during expiration
Innervation: Intercostal Nerves T9-T12
Splenius Capitis
O: SP C7-T4
I: Mastoid process on Temporal bone. Occiput
A: Bilateral = extend head. Unilateral: laterally flex and rotate head
Innervation: C4,5,6 (7,8) spinal nerve
Splenius Cervicis
O: SP of T3-T6
I: TVP of C1-C3 (deeper than levator scapulae)
A: Bilateral = extend head. Unilateral = laterally flex and rotate
Innervation: C4,5,6,7,8
Iliocostalis lumborum.
O:SP of lumbar spine
I: lower border of T6-T12 ribs
A: extend vertebral column and maintain normal curvature
Innervation:
Iliocostalis Thoracis
O: Superior surface of lower 6 ribs
I: Upper border of T1-T6
A: extend vertebral column and maintain natural curvature
Iliocostalis Cervicis
O: Superior border of upper 6 ribs
I: TVP of C4,5,6
Longissiumus Thoracis
O: TVP of all lumbar vertebrae
I: TVP thoracic vertebrae, T3-T12
A: Extend vertebral column and maintain natural curvature
Longissiumus Cervicis
O: TVP T1-T4
I: TVP C2-C6
A: Extend vertebral column and maintain natural curvature
Longissiumus Capitis
O: TVPs T1-T4. Articular Pillar C4-C1
I: Posterior Marin of mastoid process
A: Extend vertebral column and maintain natural curvature
